Privacy policy
Last updated 8 August 2026
AI Workspace does not collect, transmit or store your data on any server we control. There is no account system on our side, no analytics, and no third-party service in the path. The extension sends your conversations to a workspace running on your own computer, at http://localhost:3012, and nowhere else.
Who this covers
This policy covers the AI Workspace Chrome extension and the workspace application it saves to. Both are open-source software you run yourself. There is no hosted service: the person operating the workspace is you.
What the extension reads
When you open the extension on a supported conversation page (claude.ai, chatgpt.com, chat.openai.com) it reads that conversation from the provider's own API, using the session already active in your browser. That includes:
- the conversation title, and the full text of its messages
- the model name, timestamps, and the conversation's URL
It reads this only for the conversation shown in the active tab, and only while the extension popup is open. It does not run in the background, does not read other tabs, and does not enumerate your conversation history.
Where it goes
To your own machine, and nowhere else. When you click Add to Workspace, the extension sends the conversation to the workspace server at http://localhost:3012, which writes it to a SQLite file in your project folder.
This is enforced by the extension's own permissions, not just by intent: it requests network access to localhost and 127.0.0.1 only, so it is not technically capable of sending your conversations to a remote server.
What is stored in the browser
The extension keeps four things in Chrome's local extension storage, on your device:
- A session tokenfor your local workspace, so you don't sign in on every save.
- The email address you registered with that local workspace, shown in the popup so you know which account you are saving to.
- The workspace address —
http://localhost:3012. - An offline queue.If the workspace isn't running when you save, the conversation is held here so the save isn't lost, and is sent the next time the workspace is reachable. It is deleted once delivered.
All of it is removed when you uninstall the extension. Signing out clears the token and email immediately.
Permissions, and why each is needed
- storage
- Holds the four items above. An extension service worker is shut down when idle, so there is nowhere else for a session to live.
- tabs
- Identifies the conversation in the active tab, so the popup knows which chat you are looking at. Used only for the tab that is currently in front of you.
- claude.ai, chatgpt.com, chat.openai.com access
- Lets the extension read the conversation you asked it to save. This runs on conversation pages only.
- localhost / 127.0.0.1 access
- Lets the extension reach the workspace on your machine. This is the only outbound destination it can use.
What we don't do
- No analytics, telemetry, crash reporting or usage tracking.
- No advertising, and no profiling.
- No selling or sharing of data — there is no data on our side to sell.
- No remotely-hosted code. Everything the extension runs ships inside the package Chrome reviewed.
- No use of your conversations to train any model. Summaries are generated only when you configure your own API key and ask for one.
Optional AI summaries
The workspace can summarize a conversation or a project. This is off unless you supply your own Anthropic API key. If you do, the text of the conversations being summarized is sent from your machine to Anthropic under your API account and their terms — we are not in that path and never see it. Leave the key unset and no conversation text leaves your computer at all.
Your data, your disk
Everything the workspace stores is a single SQLite file in the folder you installed it in. You can read it, back it up, or delete it with the same tools you use for any other file. There is no request to make of us and no account to close — uninstall the extension and delete the file, and nothing remains.
Children
AI Workspace is not directed at children under 13 and collects nothing from anyone, including them.
Changes and contact
If the data handling described here ever changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top moves. Questions about this policy can go to abhay2703@gmail.com.
